Marbled Rye Bread

Long time no post.

I wanted to try something different and a good friend said that she really like Marbled Rye (Hi, Grandma Phyllis) so that is the reason for this bake (like anyone here needs a reason to bake bread). So I pulled out Peter Reinhart's :The Bread Baker's Apprentice" (aka BBA). This is the Marbled Rye Bread from there (page 183). I followed the recipe pretty much exactly. I scaled the recipe for a batch and a half, two loaves to give away and one to make sandwiches thru the week.

In this recipe you make tow doughs, which are identical except for the coloring that is added to one to make it darker. I used Cocoa as the coloring agent. One more change to the recipe, we were out of molasses so I used Karo corn syrup.
